Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.
Does clay has a high porosity?
No , it is least porous .
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
What is an accurate description of clay soil?
high porosity, low permeability

How do you calculate porosity of clay bricks?
how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?

No , it is least porous .
What are two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
Porosity refers to the measure of how much of a rock is open space. The two factors concerning particles in a rock that have the greatest effect on the rock's porosity are shape and distribution.
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
Is Clay Sediment from rock?
Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
What is the deffination of absolute porosity?
total porosity of the rock weather their individual grains are connected or not.
Is the mantle made of hot and solid rock that can flow?
It is made of very hot liquid rock that flows, though the asthenosphere is almost a solid, it is more like clay.
What is an accurate description of clay soil?
high porosity, low permeability
Is clay the same as mudstone?
No. Clay is the finest size of particle that can be found in sediment. Mustone is a solid rock formed from particles of clay and silt that have been cemented together.
